[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Son Heung-min and Veil led the victory with good breath.
Tottenham Hotspur won 4-1 in the away match against Wolfsberger in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League round of 32 in the 2020/21 season held at the Puskas Arena on the 19th (Korean time).
Son Heung-min, who was selected as the forefront offensive on the day, scored the winning goal and the opening goal by connecting Gareth Bale’s right foot cross with a header shot in the 13th minute.
Son Heung-min scored the 18th goal in the season, the 31st offensive point in the season, and the third goal in the Europa League.
Bale, who helped Son Heung-min’s goal, successfully scored a strong shot from the head of the goalkeeper in a narrow angle after 28 minutes infiltrating the right back space.
When Bale succeeded in scoring, Son Heung-min celebrated Bale’s scoring by performing a ceremony to create a’W’ shape with her hand.
After the game, Son Heung-min replied that he was very close to the question about his relationship with Bale. He said,’I am very happy that Bale keeps playing in the game and scoring and assisting. I’m very happy to play with him,’ he said.
Bale has been criticized for his bad performance even after returning to Tottenham due to several injuries until recently. Bale, who had a knee injury at the time of the transfer, was barely able to play in the league due to bruises and calf injuries.
However, Bale, who played as a substitute during the 24th round of Man City, showed a revived performance from the frustrating Tottenham attacking team with a flashy movement and shooting.
And in the following Europa League away game, he showed a clearly changed performance. The rapid penetration movement and still sharp shooting sensation contributed significantly to Tottenham’s overwhelming early Wolfsberger.
Son Heung-min showed good performance in the forefront throughout the first half of the day and was looking for confidence. Son Heung-min filled the gaps that Kane was missing because he was concerned about injury, and showed good breath with Lucas Moura, Gareth Bale and Dele Ali.
Tottenham took the advantage of advancing to the round of 16 by exploding four goals in the away game of the first leg with the big success of the offensive team and preparing for the second leg.
